I Hope This is Where Our Society is Headed: Mainstreaming Horny Goat Weed

Goat Weed

A Chinese herbal remedy called horny goat weed is a promising alternative to Viagra for impotent men, Italian researchers said on Monday.

The herb has long held a reputation as a natural aphrodisiac. The lab experiments, which did not look at whether the plant actually increases desire, could lead to new drugs to help men get erections, said Mario Dell’Agli, a researcher at the University of Milan, who led the study.

“This could be the natural Viagra,” he said in a telephone interview. “The novelty is that we have synthesized a new molecule that one day may be able to replace Viagra.”

I think this article is missing the point.  Not only is reality television taking over the airwaves.  Not only do I thin it’s a matter of time before movies like The Running Man become reality.

But now we may have something called horny goat weed to contend with.   P.S. the funniest part about this article that isn’t mentioned is the fact that Viagra has earned BILLIONS of dollars since its inception.

All the while you could have just taken some horny goat weed and popped right up.  Big Pharma…quite the capitalists.
